This action is even more strenuous and consuming than making artificial Magic Stones, the reason for which is still unknown.
It took a full two days for Lin Suo to craft a piece of Mountain Copper filled with Earth Element.
No, it is no longer Mountain Copper.
But a true, genuine crystallization of the Earth Element!
The next step is to transform it into Night Bright Stone.
Lin Suo's first choice was naturally to use the elements within it to imitate that natural model.
But the problem is, the Night Bright Stone contains Magic Power.
The artificial Mountain Copper contains the Earth Element.
Continuing with the synthesis is somewhat unrealistic, as just creating this Earth Crystal has already exhausted a hundred times the synthesis limit.
Let's first look at the effect.
Even a semi-finished product should have some use.
A short spiritual power detection of only one meter enveloped the Earth Crystal, and Lin Suo was startled for a moment—it was useful!
This thing actually simulated the Earth Wave more realistically than the Night Bright Stone did, just like a handful of yellow soil.
However, its power to isolate elements disappeared.
Nor did it have any effect on sealing Magic Power.
Rather, it could gather the power of the Earth Element—a strange new product +1.
That's the one.
Because of the research work, a few days of routine skill-level training were delayed.
After the Earth Crystal was shaped.
Lin Suo resumed his normal life. In addition to training, he would work overtime to create Earth Crystals, and further compressed his sleep time.
He only slept for three hours each day.
He sustained himself solely on the essence of the Enlightenment Flower and the spirit-lifting effects of Mint Essence.
So, a week later.
Rhein Bookstore, underground training ground.
He had divided this place into two areas, one half for placing a large number of synthesized objects and experimental equipment.
The other half was for practicing Breathing Techniques and witchcraft.
The breakthrough of Peak Knight was imminent.
After this breakthrough, the Original Beast Breathing Technique should also reach Red Grade and can participate in fusion.
The pebbles emitting a soft white light from the Night Bright Stone shone upon Lin Suo's sweaty and muscular body.
Muscles rippled.
Veins protruded, bones crackling.
Hot blood flowed throughout his body, as if possessing its own life, circulating all over, endlessly.
Skill Level leaped from 99.9 to 100 in an instant.
Thank goodness it wasn't produced by Pinduoduo; if it went up to 99.91, he could cough up blood.
At the crucial moment.
Lin Suo felt an unbearable itch in his throat, and vomited a large amount of black blood.
It even contained some bone fragments, necrotic flesh, and clots of coagulated blood.
It must be the injuries and hidden ailments inside his body from a previous car accident.
After vomiting out this batch.
He felt much lighter throughout his body.
Having reached a new realm, the path of the Knight had come to an end, and that familiar progress bar never surfaced again.
This was something he had anticipated.
It's time to try fusing Breathing Techniques, to see if it's possible to bring out something new and forge a new path.
After a moment.
The red font disappeared, and a brand new Breathing Technique emerged.
"Original Moon Beast Breathing Technique?"
A fusion of Original Beast and Moon Disk is fitting, just that the Skill Level leaves much to be desired.
[Lin Suo]
[Age: 19 (102)]
[Talent: Synthesize Everything]
[Rank: Peak Knight (1/50); Basic Wizard Apprentice (83/100)]
[Transcendent: Original Moon Beast Breathing Technique (Red Grade); Round Pupil Meditation Method +1 (3/100)]
[Skill: Mud Stone Transformation (98/100)]
```
```
Lifespan surged by thirty years, this kind of satisfaction is unprecedented, and even more motivating!
However, the Original Moon Beast Breathing Technique has only reached a total skill level of 50 points. If 100 points represent a major realm, it's still not fully mature.
In other words, Lin Suo needs to collect several other Breathing Skills with different characteristics to perfect this comprehensive Breathing Method.
Additionally, there was a breakthrough in the Meditation Method during this period.
Bringing a significant improvement in realm skill level.
The efficiency of cultivation has greatly improved.
The Apprentice Level witchcraft Mud Stone Transformation is about to undergo its first Break Limit enhancement, it's unclear what effects it might yield.
That's an issue for the coming days.
Currently stockpiled four Earth Crystals, after melting, they can cover a ten square meter space with ease.
To cover the entire underground space will still require sustained effort.
The Fake Meditation Room on the basement level is not a priority.
First, just brush a layer of Earth Crystal Liquid over the passage going downwards.
After all, formal Wizards rarely wander around Koster without a reason.
The detection limit of an Apprentice is ten meters.
It's a good time to hide the passage.
Having broken through to Peak Knight, I've reached the pinnacle of human physical capabilities. Lin Suo has tried and can lift a giant rock weighing about five tons.
Extreme burst strength is hard to measure, I'm afraid of damaging my hand.
But in terms of speed, it takes only 1.5 seconds to sprint 100 meters, so fast that it's hard to see clearly, and this includes the reaction time from a standing start.
Truly formidable.
The most unbelievable thing is the stamina; he can thrust his waist continuously 30,000 times without feeling the slightest fatigue.
Armed to the teeth, the urge to kill comes naturally!
Other aspects have also greatly improved, such as neural reflex, dynamic vision, balance, sense of direction, flexibility, etc., just not as dramatically as the improvements in strength, physique, and speed.
If one were to launch a surprise attack, under the element of surprise, a Wizard Apprentice would probably be decapitated in a single encounter.
No wonder, Wizards developed it for Apprentices to use as guards.
Absolutely incredible.
Walking this path, the human body has reached its limits.
Some formal Wizards have conducted bloodline transformations, and Knights can do the same. However, without sufficient spiritual power and soul strength, death is a likely outcome.
For now, Lin Suo does not know how the path further advanced by synthesis will present itself, but if possible, it's better to remain human.
After all, the original intent of cultivating the Knight's Path was self-preservation.
Now, with endless energy to expend, he can offset the cost of using the Synthetic Talent.
Hard to give up.
Wizard powers are indeed more attractive, moving forward, I should prioritize Wizard cultivation, with the strength of the Knight's body as a supplement.
The Sky-reaching Path lays before me, the Knight's Path can serve as a hidden power, to be used at critical moments for unexpected effects.
Plan out the path forward.
After extensive practice with the Mud Stone Transformation witchcraft, night falls.
Lin Suo becomes a voracious eater.
Ten bars of Super Supple Meat are barely sufficient to satisfy him, and each bar is synthesized from a hundred, bursting with nutrition.
By comparison, it's equivalent to a thousand thick strips of jerky in one meal.
Absolutely outrageous.
Even a landowner would be eaten into poverty.
I need to find a way to acquire meat with even greater energy content.
...
Meanwhile.
On an overseas island, a giant bell tower stands upon the central mountain peak, with densely packed manor-style houses spreading down the ridge, each occupying a significant area.
There are also many public buildings.
Libraries, cafeterias, training fields, educational buildings...
And private facilities like Wizard Towers, Ocean Hall, Magic Medicine Garden, Strange Beast Hall, etc...
All-encompassing.
This is one of Koster's three major Wizard forces.
They are different from ordinary Wizard organizations; Wizards forbid the spread of faith in gods, seeing Divine beings as materials, mortal enemies.
Any Wizard who pledges allegiance to a god is termed a Fallen Wizard.
